Pros And Cons Of Asylum Seekers And Refugees

Australia is a double-edged sword global citizen that plays a significant role and an influential part of the United Association, which tries to create a safer, fairer and more sustainable world. Australia's position in the UN is to maintain international peace and security, moreover to strengthen friendly relations among nations, and to achieve global cooperations. 'Australia values the United Nations as an essential forum through which impacts world affairs, promote a firm international framework also to pursue trading, economic interests and promote Australian values.' This is a quote from UN.org that describe Australia's position perfectly. However, it comes with negative impacts. Australia tends to be in the middle of the negative side

Australia’s way of dealing with asylum seekers and refugees are terrible and inhumane. Australia is built on compassion and multiculturalism and is proud of its human rights laws, but is what we are doing to the asylum seekers compassionate and accepting?

If Australia wants to appear as a fair democratic country, which we pride ourselves on being, then we need to treat those who are fleeing persecution with dignity and respect. Refugees have risked their lives to make their way to our country and have legitimate reasons why they cannot return to their own. If we give these people a second chance, they will work hard to repay the favour. These people are not only willing but happy to take on the jobs that are the foundation of Australia. That is not entirely glamorous or that other Australians do not want to take on. We should treat the refugees better and see them as humans, not unwanted objects. If we allow more asylum seekers into Australia, we will increase demand for goods, which can also help to support our local businesses so that they can expand their business, hire more people and support our economy. Refugees are hardworking and can greatly benefit Australia as a
